It's been a week or so since Fulham defeated Brentford in the English League Championship playoff final to clinch promotion to the Premier League for 2020-21. We're not here to recap the game in its entirety, but I will share Joe Bryan's first goal of the game because it was a) sublime, and b) the product of outstanding scouting and in-the-moment coaching. According to Bryan, Fulham coach Scott Parker told him to attempt the shot in real time. It worked out.
But that's not why we're here today.
Parker, Fulham's young skipper, was emotional and candid in his post-match interviews, which drew plaudits. But one internet wizard was struck by the similarities between Parker's South London accent and speaking cadence and those of The Streets frontman Mike Skinner, as heard on 'Dry Your Eyes'.
And that internet genius (@markypickard) went and did this, mashing up images from Parker's playing (and childhood commercial acting) career with his post-match video:
And here is the extended, better edited version of Scott Parker vs the Streets including Scott as the Mcdonalds kid 😁 thanks to the following for the footage: @footballdaily @leisureleagues As said before congrats to Scott and @FulhamFC #dryyoureyes #thestreets #ScottParker pic.twitter.com/ZQGc5OpZv5

Chris Cooley bounced from the WFT broadcast booth. That disappoints me more than just about all the rest of their terrible, idiotic moves. Dammit, man.
Wow. Fulham and Washington Football Team really spark the dialogue around here.
